I've seen it in 3 or 4 really deep images of this area of sky, and it seems to be different colours in most of the images.. I've tried but never captured it myself.. Maybe next year..

There are a remarkable number of cataloged objects near the star v1133 Ori and one is this reflection nebula. Rather than trying to list all the interesting objects, here is a link to all the cataloged objects within 10 arcmin of v1133 ori.
